The Bewitching By Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The Bewitching follows three women connected across different eras by witchcraft, horror and a mysterious history. In 1990s Massachusetts, graduate student Minerva studies the life of obscure horror writer Beatrice Tremblay and discovers that Tremblay’s most famous novel was inspired by a disturbing real event.

As Minerva investigates, the story reaches back to the Great Depression and to the experiences of her great-grandmother Alba in early twentieth-century Mexico. The same malign force appears to connect all three women, drawing Minerva into a dark mystery in which academic research, folklore and witchcraft become increasingly dangerous.
